That program runs heavy on a system(or it did a few years ago atleast) Why would you want to bog down your computer just for a look?

well it doesnt seem to bog down now according to the reviews ive read.....ive got "OK" RAM and processor on my laptop so im not to to worried bout bogging it down ...i dont really use my laptop for anything else beside surfin the web and DvDs...i use my desktop for gaming and media stuff.

and the VTP dont that actually replace kernals and system files......meaning if it dont work correctly i will need to reinstall XP.?

***DJDAudio*** · 10-20-2009, 11:26 PM

hmm Just installed the Windows 7 Pack, I am pleasantly surprised!

i was talkin bout vista trans. pack...not blinds.....blinds is a program that run on xp ....that can be turned on and off but VT cant be undone with reinstall of x correct?....what bout windows seven pack the same?

i just read the second page you linked there.....thats a windows 7 skin ...much like i want the vista....correct?.....looks kinda safe......i DLed windows blinds and theres much more than just blinds that you need and their is only 30 day trails then you gotta pay....

***DJDAudio*** · 10-21-2009, 12:28 AM

the Transformation gives you an option to replace windows files or simply copy what it needs. there is a full removal option that will take you back if you do not like it! and everything is included no trial.

I loaded it & got a couple virus warnings. Isolated them and
continued to load. I see some very minute changes but
nothing like what is posted above.

Perhaps those isolated files had some features that didn't
make it onto the load, but that's ok..

Seems like a nice program. Down the road I may go
for Window 7 Pro.

cauzindrama · 10-21-2009, 02:49 PM

my mcafee poped up once and i clicked trust file....i rescanned my laptop afterwards and ran all my pc bug Dr and spybot goodies and nuttin came up......i suggest doin a reinstall and trusting those files....trust me....noone could have been more paranoid bout effin it up than me.....i say go for it man.....wicked worth it

cauzindrama · 10-21-2009, 02:51 PM

and i just figured out the winflip......but i gotta start it manually

SgtM · 10-21-2009, 09:59 PM

McAfee is crap.

***DJDAudio*** · 10-21-2009, 10:56 PM

Well the Win 7 Pack does not like 3 Monitors haha. I ran into some goofy problems, that I had to remove the Pack, but on a single monitor system is is awesome!

For those that don't see all of the changes, it will only allow what your computer can handle. If it can not run it smoothly or properly it will disable it from install. ( kinda nice!)

Norton is crap (unless you're running Symantec corporate) too. Just because your ISP is giving it to you for free doesn't mean it's good. My ISP gives me free software too, but it causes conflicts with explorer.exe and locks up the system. How do I know? Family members ran the software after I told them not to, and then called expecting me to bail them out of trouble.

Seriously, avoid anything mcafee or norton like the plague. Go with AVG free. I've been running it exclusively for about 5 years with no problems.

Stehl · 10-23-2009, 01:39 AM

just look up uxtheme patcher then you can get some vista look and anytheme for a matter a fact to display. Thats what i do. doest use any resources. If you need help feel free to pm me.

Nate8727 · 11-06-2009, 08:07 PM

Or you could just upgrade to Windows 7. Much better than XP and Vista.

bg's · 11-07-2009, 07:35 PM

The patcher helped. I kind of like this. I might buy a version of 7
down the road.

bg's · 11-07-2009, 08:01 PM

Like it even more cleaned up a bit and going to the dark side..
Thanks for the links.
